Now that I've horribly lost my Madworld Bet, lets make a Red Steel 2 bet.

I doubt it in the space of 1 yr unless it's heavily advertised. Maybe lifetime it'll reach 1-1.5 million. It really is dependent on advertising. The adverts I saw for Red Steel 1 were really quite good but the novelty of waving a sword might have been lost on people now even with WM+. Also, when is it releasing? Will Natal and Arc have been released as we might see it having increased competition from HD games as well.

I think it's March?  Arc/Natal aren't until fall.

Nintendo should seriously step in and promote RS2 themselves (a la MH3).  Ubi's sending it to die.

I think Nintendo did the adverts for the first one as well (they were very similar to the other Wii ads in the UK at least). It's releasing a lot earlier than I thought. If Nintendo do step in to do adverts than I think it can sell well.

Yeah, agreed.  The way things are looking now, I think Ubi's 500k estimate isn't too far off.  But with better promotion and positioning, I think the game could be much, much bigger.
